Hey, anyone know where to get clutch drive bits for my screw driver. I have the screwdriver set but they are too long for some of the screws near the seat base on the 41.

Thanks Bill, I all ready tried Snap-On he could not get them. Or he say's he could not get them. I'll try NAPA. Harbor Freight is a no go also.

Harbor Freight. Ask for the 100 piece security bit set. It includes 3 clutch heads. 9 bucks.

Just found some clutch head bits, and clutch head bits in a 3/8socket drive at a local swap meet, so check your "tool vendors" at local swap meets, cheaper than the ones I've found on eBay.

That's weird Snap-On didn't have them. I ordered mine out of the Snap-On truck.

i got a set of 75+ bits that included clutch drive, torx and a few other wierd styles from my local auto parts store. they came in a nice case and are the type that you swap in and out of a driver handle. i dont remember the price but it was in the $25 range. they are not snap on quality but i have yet to break one.

Swap meets are where I found mine (I bought a couple different sets). I also bought a couple clutch head screw drivers at NAPA, but are not as handy as the bits. They are also way more expensive.

I bought a set at NAPA but it didn't include the biggest size, the one I need for the fender bolts.
